Drawing on the work and ideas of Dallas Willard, Wear contends that "spiritual formation is central to civic renewal."
In his lecture, Wear will describe how Christian resources can undermine the toxic logic of our politics, and free us up to participate in political life in a spirit of loving service.
Michael Wear is the Founder, President and CEO of The Center for Christianity and Public Life, a nonpartisan, nonprofit institution based in Washington with the mission to contend for the credibility of Christian resources in public life, for the public good. For well over a decade, he has served as a trusted resource and advisor for a range of civic leaders on matters of faith and public life, including as a White House and presidential campaign staffer. He is the author of the new book, The Spirit of Our Politics: Spiritual Formation and the Renovation of Public Life.
